Daily brushing is really important at times like this. One of my rabbits has extremely dense fur and sheds an incredible amount, I find daily brushing vital to limiting how much fur both he and my other rabbit ingest during grooming. Even with daily brushing he still gets the occasional poops joined with string of fur, or double poops from slight…[Read more]

My cats are in my rabbit’s pen quite frequently. I think we’ve only ever had two incidents of a cat using the rabbit litterbox, once when they were young and still learning about the rabbit’s space and the other when I was unwell and hadn’t cleaned the litter trays for a little longer than normal but I cleaned out the rabbit trays first so my cat…[Read more]

Thank you Bam 🙂 No he’s not on any pain meds as he’s not showing any signs of pain now (just that one uncomfortable night).

The strange thing is, he’s better than ever. Please tell me if I’m reading too much into this. He seems more active, he’s been doing occasional naughty things that he’s never done before (chewing a plastic storage tub,…[Read more]

I adopted my American chinchilla rabbit, Ziggy, when he was only eight weeks old. Now at 13 weeks, he and I have already bonded. One of the things that made me fall in love with him immediately was that he liked being held and picked up. The breeder said that they made sure to do that from the time he was very young. I’ve also noticed that as he h…[Read more]

Hi everyone, this is the daughter. Thank you everyone for your input and for your condolences. This has been a very rough time for us.

I want to add some information and clear up the timeline a bit.

Fleur was the first rabbit that I got (October 2020), and she was the first rabbit to pass away. She died last October. She seemed to have a lot of…[Read more]

You cangive him siethicone baby gasdrops a couple of timesper day. Some buns will eat it on a puece of lettuce or similar.

Other than that, brushing and lint rolling (if he has short hair – lionheads and other fluffy breeds obviously can’t be lint rolled.)

Encourage exercise, serve hay in small piles around his area, and keep a close eye.

I’d keep a close eye. Some head injuries do take some times before they give rise to symptoms, but I dont know how likely a thing like that would be in a rabbit.

I think monitoring him and make sure he eats and is kept warm etc is the best thing for now.

Dana gave some good advice. I just wanted to add that a litter screen actually might help discourage the cat. They want to be able to dig around in the litter with their paws and a litter screen prevents this.

Aww poor little lamb! I’m glad you noticed and called!

A stuffy could help in the meantime while you see if he calms down once he reaches full maturity, but I did encounter a 9 year old bun who relentlessly tried to mount my feet, LOL! How old is he?

Don’t let him have the stuffy 24/7 though, I recall someone on a forum who’s bun ended up rubbing his genitals raw and needed veterinary attention!

Do…[Read more]

How frustrating!

So, first, I would stop putting lavender and orange around the bun’s boxes. Bunnies (and cats) are very sensitive to aromatic compounds and lavender oil is harmful to cats and rabbits over time. Lavender in plant form is OK but the essential oils are very concentrated.

It may be necessary to block access to the bun’s litter…[Read more]
